Difference between Coursera and Udacity

These are the two major company that provide courses on varieties of topics and these are the comparison that I think is between these two.


Coursera:

  1. Courses occur within a fixed time frame decided by the instructor.
  2. Course content is generated by numerous professors at many institutions.
  3. Course content is 80% computer science/math today, but liberal arts courses exist, and further growth in non-technical subjects is expected.
  4. The course structure is at the discretion of professors, but usually combines long-ish video lectures (usually 1-2 hour per week) with comprehension quizzes and a longer assignment (i.e. programming).

Udacity:

  1. Courses are available on demand; there is however a suggested completion time.
  2. Course content is generated by a core group of technical experts with ties primarily to Stanford and Google.
  3. Focused 100% on technical subjects (computer science, math, and a startup class).
  4. Courses follow a consistent structure built around a short (<5 min) topic video, a quick quiz (usually a few lines of code), and then a recap. After the lesson part, a larger quiz section occurs.

Overall, they're two horses pulling the same wagon toward the goal of making education readily accessible and easy to deliver.

Mars orbiter mission

The Mars mission was the most ambitious mission that was done by the ISRO and the chance of succeeding the mission was less than 10 percent in total. The mission was designed to operate in mars for up to 2 years but the mission is still sending scientific data that can be used by the scientist to study the composition of the martian atmosphere. The mars orbiter mission was launched in 2013 and it reached the red planet by 2014 . It had traveled 450 million km to the red planet and it reached the red planet about the week after the NASA mission to the moon maven. This mission was very hard as the people at ISRO didn't have prior experience to do an interplanetary mission to any other planet at all.And this was a mission which was never undertaken by the ISRO scientists. The MOM orbiter included a high gain antenna to send the messages to the earth and the propellant tank had enough fuel for doing a 2-year mission to Mars as it took 1 year for it to reach mars . The Mars...
